Topic: Let's Encrypt PEM files not working within MC 23 (Read 2753 times)

Hi,

I recently upgraded to a MC 24 license and installed the latest MC23 build on my linux server.
The server has a seafile cloud behind nginx, including automated SSL-certificates by letsencrypt.
These certificates work perfectly for nginx and webmin.
However, MC 23 refuses to accept them and complains "The specified certificate could not be read, or the private key does not match".
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Ruediger

Are your certs and/or private keys encrypted at rest? I had a similar issue, and that was the problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I looked into it, but my files were not encrypted.
The solution was way easier. nginx was running as root, Media Center not.
And the certificate files were not accessible by normal user, so I changed the access rights to these files and now it is working.
Thanks,
Ruediger
